Details
The flu plan will aid the development of strong and flexible operational plans by local organisations and emergency planners within the NHS and local government. It provides the public, and healthcare professionals, with:
- an overview of the co-ordination and the preparation for the flu season
- signposting to further guidance and information
The flu plan includes details about the extension of the flu vaccination programme to children, which is being implemented gradually due to the scale of the programme, and is supported by the:
- annual flu letter
- influenza chapter in ‘Immunisation against infectious disease’ (the green book, chapter 19) which is updated regularly, sometimes during a flu season
- enhanced service specifications for seasonal flu and the childhood flu vaccination programmes
- CMO / CPhO letter on antivirals issued to GPs and other prescribers during the flu season advising that antivirals may be prescribed
